Things to do

Some forthcoming events in Mornington Peninsula:

Twilight Jazz at Cruden Farm

For White Hat, the Twilight Jazz at Cruden Farm is one of the special
events of the year. We strongly recommend you gather the family together and
get down to one of the most special gardens in Australia as there is only
one chance a year for the general public to experience it at the special
time of twilight.

Home Harvest Exchange - food swap

Exchanging produce has been going on since the earliest days of European
settlement and for most born before the 1960s (and many after that) would
have been a regular part of life. With changing lifestyles and serious vegetable
gardens, chooks and other livestock disappearing from quarter acre blocks the
practice has become less common. However White Hat has recently noticed a
growing trend to revive the practice in a more formal manner and where better to
do it than Heronswood
with its wonderful program of preserving heritage varieties of fruit and
vegetables. So locals are urged to bring their excess fresh home-grown produce
and go home with someone else's. As the publicity says "Meet the neighbours,
swap recipes, build community and healthy living; reduce food waste and
food miles; and stretch the
budget. Fruit, vegies, herbs, eggs, jams, and other produce. No money
exchanged. Bring your produce and a smile. One bunch of parsley is enough."
